Country records highest number of daily Covid cases today with 23,281 new patients

Ireland has recorded the highest number of daily Covid cases today since the pandemic began. The HSE has confirmed 23,281 positive cases of Covid-19 in the country.

As of today 8 a.m., 656 people are in hospitals due to Covid and 85 of them are in ICUs.

The NPHET had already warned that the actual number of cases might be up to 40% higher as the PCR testing centres cannot carry out enough tests. The concern seems true as the number of daily cases increased more than 3,000 within a day. Yesterday’s case number was 20,110.

Meanwhile administering of booster shots for people aged 16 and above is about to begin from tomorrow and the portal has already been opened up for registration.
